Just had my 1972 Pontiac 455 engine pulled for shipping to Jasper Engines for a rebuild. Found a broken lifter floating freely under the valve cover, and the exhaust manifolds essentially disintregrated. (You'll recall it was spraying oil from the left side as well.)
I plan to detail the engine compartment, locate the many missing brackets, etc, from previous owners repairs, and the get the engine back. My estimate is about 4 weeks for the engine turn plus some more time on my end.
New pictures in my Pontiac album. If the rain stops today, I hope to photo document the engine compartment as it is without the engine.
